One of the most common misconceptions about home and business security is that you need to replace your entire lockset to change the key. This is rarely true. Rekeying is a cost-effective alternative that restores your security while keeping your existing knobs, levers, and deadbolts.
At Sprouse's Locksmith, we have been rekeying homes and businesses across Northampton County since 1995. Whether you just bought a new house in Easton or need to secure a commercial property in Bethlehem, we provide fast, professional service.
What Does "Rekeying" Mean?
Rekeying involves removing the internal cylinder of your lock and changing the pins inside to match a brand-new key. Once this process is complete, your old keys will no longer work.
This is the industry standard for security because it is:
- Affordable: You pay for labor and pins, not expensive new hardware.
- Secure: It renders all previous keys useless immediately.
- Convenient: We can often key multiple locks to work with a single key.
When Should You Rekey?
New Homeowners
You never know who the previous owners gave keys to—neighbors, contractors, or relatives. Rekeying is the first step every new homeowner should take to ensure they are the only ones with access.
Business Turnover
When a key-holding employee leaves your company, your security is compromised. We can rekey your storefront or office quickly to maintain access control.
Lost or Stolen Keys
If your keys are missing and you suspect they might be in the wrong hands, rekeying provides immediate peace of mind.
Master Key Systems
For landlords and property managers, we can create master key systems where one key opens all units, but tenant keys only open their specific door.
